Did you know that Cumberland County has its own drug identification laboratory where it tests seized drugs? The DA’s Office runs it. It is at the old County Prison building above. The testing that they use is not the most modern and pales in comparison to the international forensic standards. That type of knowledge is priceless. When you need the best Drug defense lawyer in Manheim, you need to come to The McShane Firm. We know the science and the law.
Additional considerations when it comes to drug charges
Beyond the battle in the courtroom, there is the battle of personal self-worth, legacy and future. There are many things beyond the immediate concerns of jail and fines to worry about. Consider these additional factors:
Attorney Justin McShane is on the permanent faculty of the American Chemical Society’s Hands-on Drug Identification course that is part of the ACS Lawyer-Scientist course. In this course Justin and others teach the technical aspects of drug identification using instruments such as GC-MS, FTIR and colorimetric tests.
When selecting which attorney to hire, please consider:
- Can you call anytime and talk to a live person?
- Do they offer payment plans with no credit checks?
- Will your attorney be attentive and explain what’s going on?
At The McShane Firm, we answer yes to all of these questions. We strive to provide you with a great customer service experience during this tough time.

Here is a testimonial from an attorney
Attorney Eric G., San Diego CA
Justin has been, and continues to be a role model for myself, and for many other attorneys across the world. His command on science is unreal. But he also possesses a special talent: he can take huge complex issues, and break them down so they can be understood by everyone. His personality shines as a teacher/professor, and his drive really inspires everyone around him to push themselves to greatness. His approach is one of honesty; objective honesty. And that’s exactly what we need to keep in the Courts across this nation.
International reputation, local experience equals winning
We are internationally known. We do things and know things that other attorneys don’t even know that they don’t know.
Here is a video of Justin performing a colorimetric test on suspected marijuana.

The Best
When I got this email from Justin asking me to write a review on him on this site, I dropped everything I was doing to do it.
Unfortunately, my daughter has a drug problem. We have been struggling with it for years in the family. She was caught by the police and sold to an undercover. Justin made it get through ARD so she would have no felony on her record and is now a college student and has a bright future. We cannot believe how great he is.

Justin McShane, Esq and all of his associates are the most technically knowledgeable and skilled attorney in Pennsylvania, or, in the country for that matter. Hard working in all of their cases, their success rate is astonishing. As an attorney myself, I know when I see knowledge, hard work, and integrity in other lawyers. Look no further if you are seeking legal counsel. The McShane firm is it.
